I think some gaming communities would remain strong (such as yours and the one I belong to) however I agree that many would fall apart. I know most of this is on Microsoft's side. I only hope that Bungie will keep working with them to streamline this process for us. Playing Halo 3 without a clan list is a terrifying thought.

Microsoft as a whole controls the content and setup of the Xbox 360 dashboard. While extra stuff was added for Beta to the side bar for Halo 3 details, that is about all they can do. Whether or not Bungie will be able to add a clan list in is beyond me since I do not know the technical aspects behind it. However if the clan list is not included, it will be a dark day for many gaming communities. Clans size will shrink and either be reduced to close to nothing or become non-existance. Hopefully this wil be able to be added by the time of the official Halo 3 release.

I think I spend more time trying to figure out which friends are available for a game and which ones already have a full party than I do actually gaming. Also, is it too much to ask to maybe get a little more information about the match they're playing? Maybe like the time remaining and important things like that? I hate waiting in the lobby for people to finish a match, only to waste 8 minutes of my precious gaming time. Lol, I think it's time to set up my own blog to vent about these things myself.

I imagine Bungie faces some real limits with this since MS seems to hold those reins pretty tightly. Naturally, MS wants gamers to have to through the Guide interface to reach their community members and friends. I just think this could be improved by letting individual games display that same data but allowing their own functionality to be used as well. I have no idea if that's a difficult programming issue or not. Just a wish. I think Microsoft has some work to do with the FL implementation in games.

As always, you hit the bullseye! You rock! And not only in Guitar Hero... :) Me three, Filling a party for the beta is a drag, but the info on their party/game development is better, so maybe a mix of them both would be nice.

If they fix that, I would be pretty happy with it. When you back out from viewing a party, you really should be deposited back at your FL, not the lobby.
